Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An improved scalable object storage system allows multiple clusters to work together. In one embodiment, a trust and federation relationship is established between a first cluster and a second cluster. This is done by designating a first cluster as a trust root. The trust root receives contact from another cluster, and the two clusters exchange cryptographic credentials. The two clusters mutually authenticate each other based upon the credentials, and optionally relative to a third information service, and establish a service connection. Services from the remote cluster are registered as being available to the cluster designated as the trust root. Multi-cluster gateways can also be designated as the trust root, and joined clusters can be mutually untrusting. Two one-way trust and federation relationships can be set up to form a trusted bidirectional channel.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A method of establishing trust and federation relationship between a first cluster and a second cluster, the method comprising: designating a first cluster as a trust root, the first cluster including a first set of containers, each container of the first set of containers including one or more objects and being based on one or more user accounts; receiving contact from a remote cluster at the trust root over a communications medium, the remote clust…
